Peter Sagan Kicked Out of Race Over Cavendish Crash

World champion Peter Sagan has been disqualified from the Tour for causing the crash on stage four involving Mark Cavendish.

At the end of a largely uneventful stage, Sagan cut across Cavendish’s racing line and nudged him with an elbow to cause the Manx sprinter to hit the side barriers hard. Sagan won stage three and came second here, but will play no further part in this year’s Tour.
